If you want to go way back in time, there's Wayne Howell, Bill Wendell, Bill McCord, Hal Sims, Bern Bennett, Chet Gould.

Four openings doesn't seem like enough.
Didn't even think about the network staff announcers, some of which I imagine go back to the days of radio and also did soaps. So they knew the proper way to enunciate based on the situation.

Pardo, Howell and Wendall were announcing game shows up to the 70s. Bern Bennett goes way back to BTC and TTTT with Bud Collyer.

John Cannon did IGAS for years, but I'm not aware of him doing anything else.
